      I blame smartphones (by producing less social interaction). https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/has-the-smartphone-destroyed-a-generation/534198/ …

          Agree - there is actually some data in the latest YRBS survey suggesting that teens are having slightly less sex, altho only starts 2015

          I don't think you're far off here. Phones and apps have made it easier to explore sexuality w/o actual sex. Can't have baby over Snapchat...

          Idk, I feel like Tinder alone should have caused a 5-10 point bump.

          I think you're both missing the elephant in the internet - porn! This decline correlates with rise of mass streaming of video porn...

          Leads to more masturbation as opposed to real sex. Also potentially related to rise in erectile dysfunction for teen boys during intercourse
